Talk:pinzillacchera

Is this the/a correct form?
Hi,

I just stumbled upon the corresponding Treccani's entry and was surprised that they report "pinzillacchera", whereas I've always heard Totò say "pinzellacchera" (actually, always "pinzellacchere", the plural form). You can clearly see that by e.g. searching on YouTube. It may be that he used both forms but, then, why listing only one?

Also, how do they know when he coined the term? At most, they could know when he first said it publicly. Unless this is documented somewhere (interviews, etc.).
